I remember being little. Maybe about 5 or 6 years old. I loved playing outside. I was a bit of a tom boy. I loved to play in the dirt and mud. We were poor so I didn't have alot but I knew how to use my imagination.
I would take the old metal wash tub and fill it up and that was my pool...hahahaha. Back then the AOG Church were very strict and you weren't allowed to wear a swim suit. So I didn't even learn to swim. I didn't even own a swim suit but I would wait till Daddy went to work then throw on my slip and go outside and get in the tub. I loved it. lolol
Later on I learned to just dig a hole in the ground and fill it up. lol
We had Chickens, dogs running around. I would gather them and have a grand ole time with them. Rather playing house, church, or store....I played with the animals. My sisters were all grown and I had no one to play with so...I utilized the nature around me.
I remember I really loved rocks. I would go rock collecting and have a bag full, bring it in, next day I would go outside and see similar rocks as I had collected the day before. Finally he dawned on me that Momma was dumping them back in the yard.....lolol Ugh! hahaha
I loved watching Batman and Robin...sooooo....I would put Momma's apron around my shoulders and jump on my bike and off I would go on an adventure.
Yes life was so full of creative adventure then. I cherish those times even though I was a bit lonely, Nature, animals and God always had a way of spicing things up.
